Powerball player just misses $94 million jackpot — but still wins big in Texas
A Powerball player in Texas won $150,000, just missing the $94 million jackpot, lottery officials say.
The ticket matched four winning numbers, the Powerball and the Power Play in the drawing Monday, May 12, the Texas Lottery said.
Nobody won the grand prize, which rises to an estimated $106 million, with a cash value of about $48.2 million, for the next drawing Wednesday, May 14, the national Powerball site said.
The winning numbers were 15, 16, 41, 48 and 60, with a Powerball of 21, the site said. The Power Play multiplier was 3x.
More than 275,000 other Powerball tickets sold in the United States also won prizes ranging from $4 to $150,000, the lottery said.
The Powerball jackpot was last won April 26, when a Kentucky player hit the $167 million grand prize, lottery officials said.
